Mass Trespass
How working-class walkers stormed an English mountain in 1932 and started a fight for countryside access.
In April 1932, hundreds of walkers organised a mass trespass on a mountain in the English Peak District called Kinder Scout.
The trespass was a major step in the fight for access to the British countryside. At the time, much wild land was privately owned and controlled by game-keepers.
Witness hears from one of the last survivors of the Trespass. The programme also includes accounts of the protest in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive.
